Go Auntie Claus!

I loved this female perspective on Christmas--my daughter's name is also Sophie which made it even more special. I was trying to teach her about the value of giving presents and loved having a great female role model in the form of Auntie Claus to help me along. She is so effortlessly sophisticated but at the same time a giver and a hard worker. We do voices when we read this, which my Sophie loves!!

love this book, buy it!

This book is beyond adorable with amazing illustrations and a great story that will have you hooked from the beginning. So many details that you might miss the first or second read through that you pick up on during future reads. I had the honor of reading this to second graders and they were silent the entire time or ooohing/ahhing and sitting on the edges of their seats for the approximately 20 minutes it took to do as a read aloud.

The children and I loved the suspense and mystery of the storyline

When I first read this to my Kindergarten class, I was hooked! The children and I loved the suspense and mystery of the storyline. I then purchased the other two Auntie Claus books, and highly recommend that you read this one first though.

Very Creative

I read to my 5 year...a lot. And we just found this book at our library and wanted it for our own. It is a wonderful Christmas story.It shows a little girl what it means to go from being selfish to putting others first
